A PRISON officer who was suspended from a Scottish Prison was later FIRED by his employer and is appealing the decision, Politicalite can exclusively reveal.
Tommy McAlpine, 30, was suspended earlier this year after he voiced support for recently freed right-wing activist Tommy Robinson in a Facebook post. He has worked for HMP Addiewell since 2008.
A source inside the prison who asked not to be named exclusively told Politicalte that the prison guard ‘planned to spend his entire career there and that he loved his job.’
Tommy, 30 moved up the ranks to Senior Officer a few years ago was responsible for a staffing group of over 50 officers, a diverse group which included Muslims.
The insider said: “He got on great with everyone – he was very much the poster boy of the prison. He was heavily involved in recruitment and had an amazing, exceptional and clean record – his firing was totally political.”
“Tommy was well liked and well respected by everyone, including senior management.” said our source.
Tommy even risked his life for his job and his car was blown up when he went to work in 2016.
The blast sent shockwaves around the privately run prison in West Lothian.
It was reported that one of the guards had annoyed one of the dangerous prisoners inside and the men who blew up the cars were doing his ‘dirty work.’
Our source said that even after Tommy’s car was firebombed, he went back to work on Monday and took no time off sick.”
The source added: “Tommy took no action against the prison and he didn’t try to claim money off them, he was loyal as f***.”
Following the arrest of Tommy Robinson, Kris Peace posted on Facebook calling Tommy Robinson a ‘cunt.’
The full post read: “Sugarcoat Tommy Robinson all you want to try and justify your own racist views but the man is a complete cunt! That is all.”
